A KING cobra’s bite feels just like an insect bite to Roni Kurniawan, a snake handler in Riau on Indonesia’s Sumatra island.

Roni gained Internet fame in Indonesia after he posted several photos of him handling two male king cobras, which went viral on Facebook. One is a 4me-long cobra named Ice, which Tribun News reports recently bit his owner.

A Facebook user named M Iral Septiadi posted a number of videos and photos of the snake handler.

Although the bite of a king cobra can take down an adult elephant, Roni told the local media outlet: “Yeah, Ice’s bite just feels like an insect bite.”
